anger outbursts

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam Bliss & Guru Ravi Kaur,

I have been following the discussion re: Anger Outbursts with

great interest and empathy. I, too am baffled by the intensity of

anger and the process in which it is released. After many years of

prayer and meditation, it seems that it is still a major challenge

to arrive at a point of neutrality to simply observe the emotion and

let it go. I feel deep shame when I do end up yelling at my

children.

Do you have any recommendations re: kriyas to practice that

could help with this process?

Gratefully,

Abinashi Kaur

This has been a big theme in my life in the past few months, why DO we do

this, when we know we know better!!!

I think it's familiarity. Being drawn to abusive people because of

coming from abusive families. It really has been a theme for me in

love and romance, but I'm determined to turn the energy around. I'm

making great strides with my family, so hopefully the next

relationship will mirror that change! I have stayed single a long

time and am more aware and careful now. The wild thing is, with all

this Kundalini Yoga I'm doing, men are flocking to me. It's like they

feel the energy and want to soak it in...it really is powerful.

Especially the Adi Shakti mantra.

Sat Nam,

 

A few more comments on anger.

 

Anger is triggered in all of us. It is one of the basic human emotions and

there is so much repressed anger in ourselves and in the world that to

trigger it is not difficult.

Accepting this as part of being human is important so we don't make matters

worse by guilt and shame.

 

Doing running in place with strong punches is a good daily exercise to

express this energy. And plenty of physical exercise uses our energy

productively instead of allowing it to be all pent up. Notice when you get

angry -- sitting in a car or bicycling? If you are sitting (and not in a

car) get up and move. A punching bag is very theraputic.

 

Also take action on what you need to do for yourself. When we take action

we don't feel so much like a victim.

 

Strenghtening our nervous system makes us less prone to emotional reactions.

Also plenty of Vitamin B. I find when I feel strong, I react a lot less.

 

So there is my 2 cents.

 

Sat Nam,
